Checking out several mattresses at stores, I find that I prefer the feel of spring mattresses with a latex topper. The Dux bed with the three zone Pascal system has been the best bed so far because my back really likes having then softer top section allowing my shoulders to sink deeper than my hips when sleeping on my side. Of course that is an $8000 mattress. I know there are several all latex mattresses that allow zones of hard/softness for much less money and the latex beds have a better reputation for durability at half the price. Is there a way an all latex bed can duplicate the feel of a spring bed with latex topper?
Thanks |

Hi Dallasgirl, How is the Berkeley Ergonomics mattress working out for you? Please update us on what model you purchased. |

Hi Princess, It's working out pretty well so far. We bought the Willow 'C' model- 6" of firm pocket coil springs + 2" of 'soft' 25 ILD talalay latex. We started with the euroslats, but just didn't like them. I felt like they were bowing UP too much toward the ceiling and pushing me up with them and that I wasn't able to push them enough to cradle them down toward the floor. So- we swapped them out for the regular wood slat foundations, which we prefer- nice and flat. It's definitely less bouncy without the euroslats, but it's good. It's also firmer, which has me contemplating a very thin topper of some kind. Either ~1" of memory foam or maybe 1" of 20 ILD talalay latex. Just something to add a little extra cush without compromising the support. All that said- no back pain. So, I am a happy kid for now! |
| Who makes a zoned coil mattress other than Dux? |
| When shopping I got the impression that a zoned coil mattress was a common (or at least not unusual) thing. There was a zoned Sealy posturepedic at Sears that wasn't half bad although hard to say how it would be after a whole night. Not that I'm recommending Sears. Some of the manufacturer-direct places had them too. |
